If you are driving from Abu Dhabi or Dubai, you’ll want to take highway 11 heading toward Al Ghuwaifat/Saudi Arabia border and take the turn toward Jebal Dhanna and all the way to the Sir Baniyas Island ferry. This is where you can park your car. From there, you will take the passenger ferry to SBY.
If you are driving from Khubar/Bahrain you head toward UAE border. Once you pass the border you are on highway 11 heading toward Abu Dhabi. You will take the Jebal Dhanna exit and then head towards the Sir Baniyas Island ferry.

1. 6 KM point (biking segment) at Al Yamm resort
